Use ozone generator if you can find one. Ozone is reactive & can oxidize the VOC to CO2 & H20.

No, open it. It needs ventilation.
You need to wipe it down with vinegar and baking soda solution.

Absorbing odor will not solve the root cause. The Source will keep emitting odor. smile.gif

You can try Cleverin, saw it being shown in HK tv segment on TVB.

I see Aeon selling them, it's quite expensive though ...

Also, it might be VOC ... if that's the case, then I am not sure if the Cleverin gel will help.

Last time I put my wooden rack outside for a few days, works best if you can dry it under the sun.
